I need a new set on the front of my 145 2.0L TS, been happy with Goodyear Venturas but I think they are no longer available?. How about TOYOs or G.Y. F1's or anything else you would recomend.

What are you looking for? Outright grip and to hell with longevity? Something slightly harder wearing?
I run Goodyear NCT5s on my 146ti (only partly through choice...long story) and despite being a distinctly "middle of the road" tyre, they're not actually that bad; £50ish a tyre, last IRO 15-20Kish (it's ypp early of a morning) and grip well enough in the dry and the wet; I spend most of my time on Welsh A-Roads and I've yet to have cause to complain. Tyre noise is OK too; again, nothing to make me wish for something else.

I am currently using Toyo proxy T1-R's they are very good in the dry and seem to be lasting well, they are good for overall grip and good for lift off oversteer. Previous to these I have Goodyear Eagle F1's - very good but not good on the motorway. for wet grip the f1's are great ! Overall I like the toyo's, depnding on price I would choose either again. I only got 15K out of the F1's on a Fiat punto sporting (Fronts !)

try mytyres.co.uk for good prices.
